Why?

5-0 up, you’ve already scored two, you’ve already scored one of the most beautiful goals we’ll see for a while, and you’ve already been awarded a free kick.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal-to-game ratio might need some catching-up work if La Liga decide to take action against the Real Madrid superstar who was seen kicking out at Nacho Cases on Sunday.

Zinedine Zidane’s men cruised to a 5-1 victory over Sporting Gijon at the Bernabeu but it came at a price.

The new manager has lost two thirds of his frightening attacking trio to injury – all of whom were on the scoresheet again today – and he might just have to deal with some form of disciplinary action for Cristiano Ronaldo who let his temper get the better of him in such an unnecessary flashpoint.
